hello all, is there any docs to guide how to setup the ips packages for omnios? how to build the software packages, and how to provide the IPS services by web services, any document or guide for reference? thanks in advance

Hi. I am looking for the user "iigs" who commits in the OpenIndiana userland tree.

[illumos-gate] 17718 Intel IOMMU 'immu-dmar-print' option does nothing -- Jason King <jason.brian.king⊙gc>

o0

IOMMU support would be really useful for KVM with PCI passthrough (for NVIDIA Quadro, for example) - I've no idea how to implement it but may look into it

we don't do passthrough with KVM, but do support passthru with bhyve with intel IOMMUs... I believe there are some folks working to get AMD working as well..

though I seem to recall some goofyness with passing through some nvidia cards, though I can't recall the details now...

just there were some bugs with the intel iommu code when there's multiple iommu units in a system

i'm not sure exactly when that became a thing (when it was originally done, it appears 1 unit/system was far, far more common)

but just something that was encountered on newer servers

(and fixing up some debugging bits associated with it)

jbk: Excellent, thank you. I need to get an Illumos distro/OS on my other home server (with the PCI/PCIe GPU) anyway so will have a look

NVIDIA Quadro P600/P1000 are regarded as the most compatible with passthrough on KVM, and I know there are NVIDIA drivers available for that era from OpenSolaris times

May be worth exploring

What tends to be best for illumos-gate dev, OI or Tribblix?

i've not used tribblix, though I suspect any of them (or omnios) should work well enough

there's generally not _that_ many changes from illumos-gate (and usually you can build and run your stuff as a new boot env)

Thank you. Ah yes, of course

i think most of the distros have distro-specific docs on building illumos-gate on them, plus there's the docs at illumos.org as well

and of course we can try our best to answer any questions (of course not everyone is on irc all the time, so can't promise someone will always be around)

Excellent, thanks :). I've been studying the Tribblix docs and using that so I'll stick with that

[illumos-gate] 17699 Disable RDSEED on vulnerable Zen5 processors -- Andy Fiddaman <illumos⊙fn>

do any of you know what is necessary to make vim on our console (virtualized, actually tmux) behave

it was not TERM=ansi

isn't there an SMF service that sets the term type that it'd need to match?

(the name I can never remember)

andyf_: or does omnios ship the script that interrogates the tty and sets columns/rows/everything?

jbk: I'm pretty sure you can set it all by hand, if you remember "it all"

but I'm not a regular vim-y person, and I don't think what Im used to goes wrong quite like this :)

omnios does ship `resize`

TERM=xterm is probably close enough..

xterm yep.

ah ha!

though that still leaves me with the dis tests telling me they "passededled"

which I will take to be a separate but similar looking mishap

the really, really, really past tense
